	Volt was part of the "second generation" of Transformers created in [[Cyberfactory\|Cyberfactories]] on [[Earth]], and when this originally unaligned generation diverged into Autobots and Decepticons like their ancestors, he joined the Autobots. He participated in the battle over the [[Large Hadron Collider]] in [[Switzerland]] where, as the resident energy experts, he and [[Electro]] were given orders to shut down the facility's energy fields. They infiltrated the building but ran into the Decepticons [[Sizzle (G2)\|Sizzle]] and [[Jolt (G2)\|Jolt]], forcing Volt to keep them at bay whilst Electro took care of the mission. During the battle, the four of them were suddenly enveloped in leaked [[forestonite]] gas, which presumably gave all of them Laser Rod energy-sword powers (though it was only confirmed in Electro's case). {{storylink\|Generation 2: Redux}}		Volt was part of the "second generation" of Transformers created in [[Cyberfactory\|Cyberfactories]] on [[Earth]], and when this originally unaligned generation diverged into Autobots and Decepticons like their ancestors, he joined the Autobots.

	A high-speed soldier, '''Volt''' is dedicated to eradicating the Decepticon threat. His system is turbocharged with enough energy that he can relentlessly pursue his opponents long after other Autobots need to rest and recharge. Volt will also throw himself into danger, confronting even the most powerful of opponents on his own without regard for the consequences. Needless to say, this tends to get him into trouble, often more than he can handle. Volt isn't foolish, though—he's merely single-minded. If he needs to rescue a comrade or defeat an enemy, he gets right to work doing it. Not his fault if the details get in the way, and besides... he's usually skilled enough to get away with it.
